Our Services

We offer a wide range of services and products. With over 20 years of experience in numerical simulation and data analysis applied to automotive, aerospace and yachting, over 10 years of intensive development of our tools and methods for America’s Cup, Volvo Ocean Race and TP52 projects, we relentlessly push our R&D to stay on the leading edge.

Today, one can easily find consultants providing CFD, VPP or Data Analysis services. However, few combine the three capabilities together and even fewer offer services of experts having proven experience in the America’s Cup, Volvo Ocean Race, Vendee Globe, Grand Prix series and the Olympics. Leading projects worldwide understand the difference and this is why we have enjoyed working directly with multiple winners of the Volvo Ocean Race, the Vendee Globe, Sydney Hobart, Fastnet Race, World Champions in IRC72, and TP52, America’s Cup teams and many more…

Design

Our experience working with large industrial corporations and successful yacht racing teams worldwide, from detailed CFD engineering, VPP models to full program coordination allows us to tailor efficiently our services to clients’ needs.
